>Mako Crossover Chapter 10 >Blue Blood >By Chris Homer >M.Bison looked on as a parody of loveliness erupted in front of his eyes. KRILLAN: So they aren’t really lovely, but mock loveliness? >His arch nemesis, Chun-Li, along with the young girl Sakura. He >didn't recognise the rest, but remembered the vision of Tifa Lockheart .via Reeve, and licks his lips in anticipation. GOKU: And once again we can see how incorrect tense changes make a sentence sound moronic. >He recognised Yuffie Kisaragi as well. VEGETA: And ran away screaming. >He didn't know who the fifth was, but he would find out after he controlled >her mind, body and soul. >Heihachi was a bit disappointed that Jin wasn't here, but any excuse for >that trick that they just pulled off. GOKU: Did they pull a rabbit out of a hat? >Sagat's thoughts were piling on a mile a minute. VEGETA: I think there’s a traffic jam in his head. >His thoughts weren't straight. YAMUCHA:...No. I won’t say it. I’m not getting into that area. >A warrior of honour, but his ideas of revenge were clouding his mind. GOKU: Is he having a brainstorm? VEGETA: More of a drizzle. >His revenge consumed his very soul, so his mission was to injure >Sakura and Chun-Li. He reckoned that Ryu's weak point was KRILLAN: His balls. >these two young ladies, and he would take advantage of that opportunity >gladly. Chun-Li's face was a mask of concerntration. Every time she had >got close to Bison, something had stopped her. KRILLAN: Common sense. YAMUCHA: The will to live? >In the last tournament, she got injured against Vega, despite winning, >making her unable to face Ken Masters in the semi-final. Ken advanced on a >bye, and she lost her chance to fight Bison. >This time, however, she was ready, fit and able. GOKU: But who’s Cain? >Bison was the first one to speak, the electricity could have been cut with >a knife. VEGETA: The hell? >"Well, my dear Chun-Li......it looks like destiny has brought us >together.....shall we have this last dance?" he sneered. >"It will be a pleasure....except to destroy you won't be enough. VEGETA: She also will piss on him when he’s dead. >This will be for my father, and the destruction of this evil in this >world!" she screamed. GOKU: Is she BLAMING him for destroying evil? KRILLAN: I think she means that destroying him will be part of destroying the evil in the world. >Yuffie had snuck behind them like the thief she was, and broke Reeve >and Elymra's ropes. They had passed out again, but seemed to be sleeping >more comfortably than before. >Chun-Li and Bison gazed into each others eyes. YAMUCHA (Chun): Wow, Bison, you may be an evil bastard, but I just love your eyes. >Tifa interrupted the trance, stepping in front of them. "Listen, bud, >I tell you've got something against her, but you are an evil son of a >bitch, I can tell that. And I have a quest to destroy the evil in this >world....and you will be the first...." >Tifa didn't finish the sentence as she was lifted up in the air >telepathically and slammed into the wall. KRILLAN: Finally, a realistic response to long winded fighteres. >Bison leered over her. "You are a pretty little thing...but what makes >you think you can beat m...." >A fist quicker than lightning came upon Bison's nose, and he fell to the >floor. GOKU (Bison): Oh. That’s what. Check. >"That....that hurt...." moaned Bison, holding a bloody nose. "You have a >great fighting spirit, but my battle isn't with you." He looked at Chun >again. VEGETA: And when he did, Tifa took the time to remove his spine. >Heihachi got up. "I am Heihachi Mishima, legendary fighter of 5 >generations. Any of you young ones, good enough to challenge me?" >Tifa got up from the fall. "I accept your challenge. I am Tifa >Lockheart, master of Zangan martial arts, only myself and master >Zangan have that high an honour. You will fall." KRILLAN: Tifa then trips the guy. >Sagat towered over the others. He wanted to get Chun-Li, but it looked >like Bison had that honour. He looked over Sakura. YAMUCHA: At the wall behind her. >Sakura, despite over 2 feet in height difference, looked straight up into >Sagat's eyes. Sakura had a score to settle with him from their last battle. >She was no match for Sagat though. >Yuffie put a hand on her new friends shoulder. "Let's chop down that >tree!" she said, drawing her shuriken. KRILLAN: I thought they were going to fight Sagat, not do landscaping. >Sakura smiled. "Let's kiss ass!" GOKU: That’s strange. Why would they suck up to him? >Misty stayed behind. Despite knowledge of martial arts, she knew that >she would be no match for them. However, her Pokemon brought the element >of surpise, and when things would look down, she would be ready. She went >over to Reeve and Elymra, hoping they would be alright. VEGETA: She didn’t notice the rats eating their way through the insides of the two. >Chun and Bison looked at each other again. >Tifa and Heihachi stood eye to eye. >Sakura and Yuffie had a determined look against Sagat. >The battle was on. _____________________________________________________________________ >Three familiar figures were walking alongside Fort Condor, GOKU: No... >talking about times past and present. GOKU: Please don't let it be... >"No, Rude, Aeris was the cutest!" one said. GOKU: AUGH! KRILLAN: What’s wrong? GOKU: He put the Turks in the fic, as if there weren’t enough characters already. YAMUCHA: And why do they care? Aeris is dead! >".......Tifa." the other said simply. >"Oh brother!" the third moaned, a female in comparisson to the other two. KRILLAN: Anyone want to guess what’s meant by ‘in comparison’? VEGETA: Maybe he is saying that you can’t tell a man from a woman unless you compare them? YAMUCHA: So the author is Goku as a kid? >The Turks refused to battle with Avalanche during the raid on Midgar, so >they had gone to the Gold Saucer, and made a residence there, thank to Dio. KRILLAN: So how did Barret and Cloud miss them? >Reno was still the smart ass of old, whilst Rude was the quiet peacemaker, YAMUCHA: Or just quiet. >as Reno and Elena enjoyed bickering. KRILLAN: The new married couple? GOKU: They would smack you around if they heard that. >"Give it up! You guys haven't got a chance!" Elena smirked, Reno's >pride dropping a few notches. >"Hey, what about that young girl, what was her name.....we saved her at >DaChao....." Reno said. >"Yuffie." Rude said. >"Yep. She was pretty cute!" he smirked. GOKU: My god! She’s a teen! >"Your either getting mad or desperate now! She is half your age!" Elena >shouted. >"Oh please, since when did I let that bother me........" smirked Reno. VEGETA: Since your brain was removed. >"True....." Elena said. >A noise near Fort Condor got their attention. >Something else got Elena's attention nearby. YAMUCHA (Elena): Oooh, a shoe store! >"Oh god!" she squealed. >Reno and Rude went over to Elena, who had just seen a sight and a half. >Three bodies were beside her, dead, all killed in the same way, their >heads burst, and their skulls dripped body and brain haeomerrage. ALL BUT VEGETA: Eeewwww… VEGETA: Heh. Now things are picking up. >"I'm gonna be sick..." murmered Elena, and Reno seemed to feel a bit queasy as well. This wasn't the site he wanted. KRILLAN (Lisa): Dad, that's Fox's website! GOKU (Homer): AHHHH! Undo, undo! >Only Rude remained expressionless. GOKU: Sometimes I think his facial muscles are paralyzed. >That expression changed dramatically when he heard a scream come from >Fort Condor. GOKU: So exploded bodies don’t affect him, but screaming does? >"No way......" he whispered. >Reno was trying to drag Elena away from the corpse, who seemed unable >to cope with the shock. Reno managed to drag a stone cold Elena away >eventually, but the shock was a bit surprising. KRILLAN: WHY? Do you expect her to LIKE mutilated corpses? >"Rude, man, can you help us here, instead of standing about....." Reno >moaned. >Rude wasn't there. He was walking towards the Fort. >"Rude, what the hell are you doing?" he said. YAMUCHA: (Rude): Didn’t you hear the author? I’m walking towards the Fort. GOKU: If these were really the Turks, Rude and Reno would have found a bar by now. >"I heard her." Rude said. >"Heard who?" Reno said. KRILLAN (Rude): Elizabeth Dole… OTHERS: (shudder) >"Tifa." Rude said. >"What?! No, way, man." Reno scoffed, VEGETA(Rude): Funny, I just said that. >before another scream rang through their ears, and it went quiet." KRILLAN: What, was Reno saying that? >"That was her....." Reno said, a bit disbelieving. >Rude had already started to climb the ropes. >"Hey, Rude, what ya doing?" Reno asked. ."I'm going to help her." Rude said. >"In case you've forgotten we aren't the good guys, here...." a different >scream pierced Reno's heart. VEGETA: Reno then fell over dead. >"Oh no, Yuffie's there too." Reno whispered. YAMUCHA: Sicko. >Even though they were offically enemies, Reno and Rude didn't want any >females hurt, including Elena, Tifa and Yuffie. Rude was besotted with >Tifa, and nothing could change his mind. VEGETA: Except a total frontal lobotomy. GOKU: You used that already. VEGETA: I just like the idea. >Reno sighed and followed him. Elena was still in paralysis. >"Listen, are you gonna help, cause I'm not carrying you up here!!" >Reno said. >"Huh....." murmured Elena. KRILLAN (Elena): But I WANT to be carried… >"Oh, never mind." and Reno continued to climb. _____________________________________________________________________ >Chun-Li was fighting like a man or in case, woman possessed. She had >learned how to control her rage thanks to Ryu, but it seemed the lessons >were failing at this moment. She had only one purpose at this moment, to >destroy the demon known as M.Bison. >Visions of her father flashed before her eyes. YAMUCHA: Don’t most people get visions of sugar plum faries? >Her revenge would be complete.......now. >Chun-Li made the first move, running with an incredible roundhouse >punch. Bison calmly teleported away, GOKU: Hey, when did he know the Shunkan Idou? >as Chun-Li reversed her own move, trying to connected with a reverse >roundhouse kick. Bison moved again, and Chun didn't know where he was. >Bison appeared in front of her and elbowed her under the chin. Chun felt >the blow and quickly backed off. The man was powerful, and his psycho power >made him damn near impossible to beat. Maybe she should have thought this >through..... VEGETA: She can think? >Chun ran in, attempting her famous lightning kick, a move which had saved >her on more than one occassion. YAMUCHA: But she couldn’t hit the button fast enough. >However, Bison, again (it was getting annoying) GOKU: This guy just doesn’t know genders. >teleported out of the way, and powered himself up. >"Huh?" Chun said, as Bison unleashed one of his most potent attack. VEGETA: The Galik-ho. GOKU: That would be yours. >"SCISSOR KICK NIGHTMARE!" >Chun felt herself on the end of many kicks from Bison's double knee >press move. Chun felt blood down her face. 'No, I can't lose this early......' >Chun got up, groggily. Her vengence was costing her the battle...... GOKU: That line just doesn’t mean anything to me. Maybe if you meant the thirst for vengeance, it would work. _____________________________________________________________________ >Heihachi on the other hand, didn't have the powers of Bison, and his skill >and experience, no matter how high, were getting outclassed by the beautiful >young woman in front of him. KRILLAN: He’s screwed. >It was a smaller version of Julia Chang, but she was twice as good. VEGETA: In bed. >Heihachi had never met an opponent with such speed and agility, plus >potent attacks. The style was very unfamiliar, and Heihachi found it very >difficult to counter. Heihachi had struck a few blows, and they were all >powerful. KRILLAN: Nooo…I thought he would be tapping her. >Tifa felt pain every time he connected, despite the mans great age, he >was a very accomplished martial artist. YAMUCHA: Wouldn’t age make him more likely to be a master? >Tifa's blows however were almost as lethal, KRILLAN: So they killed you almost as dead? >and connected more times than Heihachi did. Tifa's quickness was avoiding >every strong blow that attempted to hit her. GOKU: No! Don’t use the fierce blows! Try quick punches! >Heihachi tried a hammer fist into a straight punch. It missed Tifa's thin >stomach by inches. Now, was the opening. >Tifa struck with a fury of fists, sending blood into Heihachi's eyes. GOKU: So the blood came out of the fists. >The next move was a somersault kick, similar to Guile's flash kick. >A powerful sweep came next. VEGETA: She really likes her limit breaks, doesn’t she? >Then she went behind him for the Dragon Suplex. >Heihachi was groggy, but now aware what was going on. He reached into his pocket. YAMUCHA: Um, now is not the time to be playing pocket pool. >Tifa found the leverage to bridge him over and lifted. >The next thing she knew was pain in her leg, lots of pain. GOKU (Tifa): Damn, I screwed up the slot. >Tifa let go, clutching a blood torn wound in her leg. >Heihachi looked over her, a gun in his hand. VEGETA: So? >"I like to defeat warriors with honour, but you proved to be a bit too >frisky for my own good." >Tifa tried to raise some materia but the injury was life sappening, and >Heihachi put his hand on her head, stroking her sweatened hair. > KRILLAN: Good dog. "Now you die, luv." YAMUCHA: Since when is Heihachi British? _____________________________________________________________________ >"NO!" screamed Misty running to Heihachi, and releasing a pokeball. "STARYU, >TACKLE!" >A starfish looking creature was released from the pokeball and sliced into >Heihachi's flesh, holding the gun. GOKU: So the starfish is holding the gun? >Heihachi screamed as the starfish came back, not liking the blood on >his body. >"I don't know who you are, young lady....but you die now!" >Normally, Misty would be scared of a man over twice the size of her, and >threatening. VEGETA: But she has recently suffered brain damage. >However, her new friends had given her confidence, and companionship, >reminding her of her two friends....wherever the hell they were. >Time to bring out her big guns. YAMUCHA: I think she’s too young for those to be so big now. GOKU: *sigh* >"STARMIE, JIGGLYPUFF, VAPOREON, I CHOOSE YOU...." >As she said that, another pokeball flashed. >"PSYDUCK!" (All right, all Pokemon watchers, how many of you didn't see >that coming. GOKU: Trust me, everyone saw it. YAMUCHA: Whats that about? GOKU: Standard Pokemon gag. >Oh, all of you saw it coming. Damn!) GOKU: Maybe if you weren’t so damn unoriginal. >Misty decided to let it have a chance, but released Starmie, Jigglypuff and >Vaporeon still. Goldeen was no use, Staryu was too weak, Horsea wasn't strong >enough, and she wasn't sure of Togepi's well being in battles. Being a bit motherly. VEGETA: I thought she was just bitchy. >Heihachi at first looked confused, but then laughed. >"This is your battle???????? Wimpy creatures! HA! HA! HA! HA! I'll crush them >as I will crush you........." KRILLAN (Bad dubbed movie): Now… I will…crush you! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! >"VAPOREAN, LIQUIFY!" >Vaporeon became almost invisible to the naked eye. YAMUCHA: Almost? Is its head visible or something? >"Jigglypuff, Song Attack! Starmie, Tackle and Water Gun. Psyduck.... >er, scratch!" >"Jig-gly-puff.....Jig-gly-puff.....Jig-gly........puff...." Jigglypuff >sang a beautiful melody, GOKU: Knocking EVERYBODY out. VEGETA: And then, the fort collapsed! >soothing to the ears of Heihachi. A bit too soothing.... >Heihachi woke up, realising that he was being put to sleep. He went into >meditation, trying to break out of the trance. Keeping his mind stable.... >.....and then kicked Jigglypuff away. KRILLAN: Oh boy! Volleyball! >For a moment, Jigglypuff was happy because someone had stayed away from >its song, but unfortunately, was kicked badly to be caught by Misty. YAMUCHA: Safe! >"Oh, Jigglypuff....." she said worriedly. "Vaporean, tackle it!" >Starmie and Vaporeon both did a tackle attack, Vaporeon still invisible as >Psyduck ran up to Heihachi to scratch his leg. >Misty didn't want to see this. GOKU: The grand massacre was too much for her. >Heihachi sent Psyduck across the room like a football......... >........only to land on its head! GOKU: I know what’s coming. >"PSY--Y-Y-Y---YY------DUCKKKKKKK!" it screamed, casting Disable. KRILLAN: So he froze Heihachi? >Heihachi screamed at the pain. It was too much for a man to take. Heihachi >sensed it came from the duck, but how was he gonna get out of this one? GOKU (Chanting): Kill the duck. Kill the duck. >Misty took time to check on Tifa's wound. Tifa had told her about restore >materia, but Misty wasn't sure if she could use it. She began fiddling with it....... _____________________________________________________________________ >Even though it was two against one, Sagat seemed to have the advantage. His >gargantuan size was great imtimidation against the two young girls, but Sakura >knew his moves. They were similar to Ryus' so should have similar strengths and >weaknesses. VEGETA: Except for the two foot difference. >A problem came at the start of the match. As Yuffie threw her shuriken, Sagat >kicked it 15 feet behind him, saying that no weapons should be allowed in a match. KRILLAN: She’s screwed. >Yuffie would have to rely on her fists and feet. >Yuffie's blows did little damage. She realised she spent too much training with >her materia and her shuriken instead of her ninja skills. Her materia had been >disposed of momentarilly thanks to Sagat as well, which were in her shuriken of >course. GOKU: But they keep some materia in the armor! >Sakura, on the other hand, was doing some damage. Despite her small figure, >her body was more muscular than it looks. Her double arm blow was her best >normal attack, and her special attacks were more damaging than expected. >However, Sagat was starting to dominate. YAMUCHA: I didn’t think Sagat went for that kind of stuff. > He had just put Yuffie out with a tiger knee and was focusing on Sakura. >Sakura had hit an air fireball and somehow, an air version of her dragon >punch (NOTE: These air moves are only as far as I know on Marvel Superheroes >vs. Street Fighter for Sakura, I haven't played SFA3 yet). KRILLAN: And yet he’s trying to write a fic with her in it? The pain… >Sagat felt the chi energy from her dragon punch rip apart him like >Ryu did, giving him the scar he will never forget. >Yuffie groggily got up, pissed as a rat. GOKU: Yuffie’s underage! How is she drinking? >She was angry. Even though her shuriken wa gone, she still had a few >attacks which would piss Sagat off. >Sakura was sent down with a big kick. >As she got up, Sagat grabbed her by the hair and lifted her up. VEGETA: And ripped all her hair out. >"I have no intention to hurt young girls. Especially ones who could >amount to something and ones with expectional young beauty such as >yourself. But you are a friend of Ryu, and I have to have my revenge. >You will be my ransom. You have given me a good match, but it is over." KRILLAN: Blah, blah, blah. So how come no one hits him while he is saying all that? >He prepared to slam her face first into the gravel. >"BLOODFEST!" GOKU: The sharks are attacking. >He didn't see Yuffie blazing at him with her fists powered up by the >power of the Shinobi. KRILLAN: You think he’d hear her shout, though. >Sagat fell back, dropping Sakura who landed safety, although hurt, on her back. "GAUNTLET!" YAMUCHA: Yuffie is an arcade game freak. >Her fist went into the ground and beams of blue electricity circulated >around her, and then round Sagat. Sagat screamed in pain, what attacks >were these? GOKU: Bloodfest and Gauntlet. What, are you deaf? >Sagat fell back, as Yuffie then cured both her and Sakura with her >Clear Tranquil spell. KRILLAN: Oh come on, she just used three limit breaks in a row with no pauses. >Perhaps this wouldn't be as easy as he expected...... _____________________________________________________________________ >"PSYCHO CRUSHER!" >Bison hit his most powerful move, his body sizzling with electricity and >evil intensity as his entire body slammed into hers, Chun-Li screaming in >pain. >Chun-Li's lithe body slammed into the wall, cracking a rib, and making her >damn near an unconscious state. GOKU: Like Minnesota. (Author’s note. I picked a state at random. I don’t want hate mail) >"HA! HA! HA! WHAT'S THE MATTER, GIRL......YOU GOT THE CHANCE FOR >REVENGE, AND YOU COULDN'T TAKE IT. NOW, I WILL SEND YOU TO MEET >YOUR FATHER......" YAMUCHA (Bison): He lives in the house over there. >Bison was pretty far away, as he charged up for another superattack. >It was then at that moment, Chun-Li began to flashback, to when Ryu taught >her the Kikoken........ VEGETA: I hope she flashes back real fast before Bison attacks again...... No wait, no I don’t. Die!!!! _____________________________________________________________________ >"How do you do that? A move like that could defeat any opponent, >including Bison. Can you show me how to do that? I have to kill him...." >"Chun, revenge is never the best answer. VEGETA: Says who? >You are a disciplined young woman, with great character and power. >If revenge is your way of life, then so be it. But don't let it consume >your very soul......." KRILLAN: Yeah, that’s Akuma’s job. >Chun sighed. Ryu was a good friend, but he liked to take the fun out >of things. >"All right. But I can't promise I won't kill him if I see him...." she >said, preparing for a quarter-final fight against Vega. "That bastard >Vega YAMUCHA: Be kinda surprising if she meant in the literal sense. >is one insane psycho. I need to beat him." >Ryu nodded. "A person has to have to have their own role in life. >Vega is extremely dangerous, fights with a combination of ninjitsu GOKU: Gesundheit. >and spanish matador training. He is ranked number 7 and is the quickest >male fighter I've seen. Almost as quick as you.....but not quite." He chuckled. >Chun chuckled. VEGETA: What the hell is so funny? >But she had come for a reason. >"Listen, I've studied Vega, and his weakness is that he doesn't have projectile attacks. His attacks are quick and similar to mine in ways, but if I had an attack like your Ha-do-ken, I could get an advantage .......please, can you teach me." VEGETA (Ryu): No, have a fun time being killed. >Ryu sighed. Women...... >"All right. Your chi is very strong, you could probably get it easily. >But it can be dangerous....I'll help you." >Ryu proceeded to hold Chuns hand in an open way, as if pushing something. >"Right, the basis of the Ha-do-ken is to channel one's chi energy, and >then express it openly. GOKU: Hey, Vegeta, do you know how we use energy attacks? VEGETA: I just do. >I'll hold you, as you try to grasp it. It can be very deadly, and >when executing it, it can be a shock to someone. Try it." KRILLAN (Chun): NO! And you can’t make me! >Chun-Li tried to grasp her chi as Ryu let go of her. Chun tried to >channel the energy and released, but nothing came out. >She attempted a couple more times and nothing every time. She started >to get a bit tired. YAMUCHA: From standing there? >"It's no good. I don't know how to get it right exactly." Chun sighed. >"Here, I'll help you." Ryu said. >Ryu grabbed her hands and drove them into her chest. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her arms. YAMUCHA: Awwww… >"Now, concerntrate on your own aura, your own chi, hold it in your >body as long as possible and then channel it through your arms. Then, >release it in a ball of energy. >Chun closed her eyes, Ryu arms pinned her across her chest. The feeling >of power, amongst possibly other things, GOKU: Ifyaknowwhatimean! >drove into her in a wave of energy. One stage done. >Now she had to release the energy. She concerntrated, her arms outstretched. >Something clicked in her mind. >"KI.... >A power of blue energy was in her palms. >She released. >"KO-KEN!" >The fireball was slightly smaller than Ryu, KRILLAN: That is a fairly large fireball. >and had a different shape, GOKU: Its obvious why. You used different words, so it must be a different attack. >more oval shaped and it was see through, but it hissed across the wall it >hit, giving it a big mark. >"RYU....I DID IT!" she squealed, still in Ryu's arms. >Ryu smiled as Chun tried it again. This time it was much easier, but it was >tiring. But now, she was ready. >"Ryu....thank you!" she said. >She then realised that Ryu hadn't let go of her. Chun was about to tell >him to let go, but then stopped. Did she want him to let go? VEGETA: YES YOU DO!!! >She turned, seeing Ryu looking at her. Chun gulped. Most men had casually >looked her, and she was usually annoyed by it. None of them appreciated >who she really was. But this one was different. He was kind, honest, and >had an unseen power which could protect and destroy. KRILLAN: His function, to mend, and defend. >Power like that could make a man corrupt. But not this man, as pure as silk. >Chun started to tip her head towards him. "Chun, I....." Ryu started as he >started to tip his head as well...... >"RUSSIA IS GOING DOWN, PERIOD!" >"SHUT UP, CAPITALIST PIG!" GOKU: Why is the UN there? >Chun and Ryu quickly released each other seeing and hearing Zangief and >Guile go into another 'Love thy country' debate. Sighing, Chun and Ryu >quickly made their exit. KRILLAN (Snagglepuss): Exit, stage right! >Chun stopped outside the door. She had to thank Ryu somehow for >teaching her that move, and such being a good friend. YAMUCHA: I’m sure he knows of a way to thank him… >She tilted and pecked him on the cheek. >"Thank you, Ryu, for everything." >She walked out, a heavy load off her heart ended. KRILLAN: Double negative! She just said that the load returned to her heart! GOKU: And you know, we’ve already seen this flashback from Ryu’s view. _____________________________________________________________________ >Next day....... GOKU: Long flashback. VEGETA: Why isn’t she dead yet? >Vega was winning the battle. Chun has suffered internal injuries thanks >to Vega's claw, KRILLAN: What, did he jam it down her throat? >but wasn't about to give up. She seemed to be losing blood, but >she wasn't going to let Vega have the satisfaction of her giving up, >licking her blood on his claws. >Vega was on his cage, ready to leap, to finish her off. >Suddenly, a thought went into her mind. YAMUCHA: You say that like its unusual. >"The basis of the Ha-do-ken is to channel one's chi energy, and then >express it openly." Ryu, she thought. >Vega's diving claw attack would end it if she didn't do something. >She followed the instructions of Ryu the night before. >Vega didn't even see it coming. >"KI-KO-KEN!" GOKU: What made her name it different anyways? >Vega screamed as it him him in the face/mask, Vega flew to the opposite >end of the cage, slamming his perfect face in the mesh. The mask split in >half, smashing it, and Vega's once perfect face was turned into a scarred >bloodly mess. Chun-Li bend down, badly hurt, but Vega was finished. Chun-Li >had won. The realisation made her laugh. Then she choked. Her own blood. VEGETA(Chun): Hmmm, I need salt. >From the crowd, unknown to her, Ryu was smiling. YAMUCHA: Is he supposed to be happy that she’s in real bad shape? >That was her last thought before she passed out. _____________________________________________________________________ >Chun wasn't about to quit against Bison. Like Vega, she was badly hurt, >but she had her power, and was about to utilise a version of the fireball >more powerful than normal. GOKU: Naturally. >Bison went for his scissor kick nightmare attack again. But Chun had a >surprise for him. Her hands cupped in a blaze of electricity. >"WHAT THE....." >"KIOSHOU!" >The blaze of electricity hit Bison at close range, but it didn't stop there. >The electricity expanded....and expanded. KRILLAN: And expanded. And expanded. >Bison had to scream in pain as his muscular flesh started to heat up. >Chun-Li's most effective attack, the Kioshou, was being utilised to >it's full potential, as Ryu had shown her. >Bison fell back to where he came back from, about 15 feet to the right. VEGETA: Is someone going around with a tape measure? >But Chun was still hurt. She couldn't take advantage. >Suddenly, she felt energy flow in her, but it wasn't chi energy, she was >spent. But this energy, made her feel... >...good. YAMUCHA: Nah. Too easy. >She started to regain strength, and realised that magic was somehow >behind this. Tifa's..... No, she was surprised. Tifa was also getting >up, hurt, as Heihachi looked confused, as did Misty. >Yuffie and Sakura were also getting energy flowing in their veins. >Then who.... >"I'm in heaven." said a male voice. VEGETA: And I am in hell. >There, behind her, were three people, two male, one female. The one who >spoke had very distinguished red hair, and he looked very casual. (The >scruffy attire probably had something to do with that) The other male, who >had used the cure spell, was very tall, but very bald. GOKU: Unlike someone who is kinda bald. YAMUCHA: Like Krillan. KRILLAN: Hey! I shave my head! >He had a pair of sunglasses on, despite being indoors. The third was a >blond woman, had a pale face, but her features were still well presented. >"Well, I like to be in service, especially for pretty young dears, VEGETA(Reno): So I don’t know why I’m here! >like yourselves. But ones with tricks like that......." Reno smirked. >Rude glanced over at Tifa, who just looked gobsmacked. The Turks helping >them? Reno had drawn his nightstick. GOKU: Put that back in your pants! >Rude and Elena drew with guns and materia. >"Yes, I know. Helping members of Avalanche. Not good for our reputation. >But with Shinra gone, what's the point? GOKU: Revenge? >It's been only a few days since Sephiroth died and already more problems. >And not with us, what's wrong? Looks like we'll have to settle this....." >"Turk style." Rude said. KRILLAN (Milhouse) Lets go crazy, Turk style! >Bison, Heihachi and Sagat back off. These figures looked dangerous. They were >hopelessly outnumbered now. >"Hmm....it seems that an evil presence has drawn us here. Well, it looks >like we'll have to meet it...." Bison pondered. >Without warning, a flash of white light filled the whole room, blinding everyone >temporarily. >When everyone recovered their sight, their enemies had gone. >"Aw, damn. And I wanted to show off in front of the ladies." murmured Reno, >twirling his nightstick like a bigshot. GOKU: I told you! >"Shut up, Reno!" moaned Yuffie. >Rude went over to Tifa who was still on the floor, the cure materia >hadn't sunk in yet. Rude offered her a hand. VEGETA(Rude): I got this from Bison, want it? >Tifa looked on in astonishment of the Turk offering to help her. >She knew Rude had a crush on her, but business was business, YAMUCHA: So she had to charge him full price. >and he had attacked her with purpose in the past. And now, a gentleman..... >Tifa nodded and accepted it, Rude lifting her up easily, as if helping >a child up who fell off a bike. >Elena was still pale from seeing the bodies, so she was in more of a trance >after seeing three huge figures vanish from sight. KRILLAN: Why is she even there? She just sits around. >Meanwhile, Tifa had gone over to Elymra and Reeve and had cured them, whether >damaged spiritually or physically, they knew they had been in a rough time. >Sakura was eying up the male Turks. "Who are they?" she asked Yuffie. YAMUCHA (Yuffie): You got me. >"Trouble." Yuffie simply said. >"So, why did they help us?" Sakura said. >Yuffie shrugged. Why did they help them? >Reno was enjoying this situation. Yuffie was giving him looks of mistrust, >anger, confusion but most of all, surprise. Reno wasn't lying when he said >he was in heaven. YAMUCHA: Or at least he would be if he didn’t leave. >Along with Yuffie and Tifa, she had seen the most gorgeous girl blasting away >that red jerk. That girl was now heading towards him. >"Er, I don't know what your problem is with my friends, but thanks anyway." >Chun-Li said simply. >Reno gave her smile as she walked away, to help the youngest girl. Reno noticed >Yuffie's friend, similar look and age, and the really young girl. Although way >too young, he had a feeling that they would grow into beautiful young women. GOKU: He’s really hard up, isn’t he? >"So, Yuffie dearest, who were those bastards anyway?" Reno inquired. >Yuffie would have hit him for calling her 'dearest', she couldn't get over >the fact that the Turks had saved her life at DaChao not long ago. But >they had helped her again, and decided just for the sake of it, GOKU: To nuke them. >tell them what happened. >Reno 'listened' to her, still surveying the loveliness in the room. >Yuffie sensed that he wasn't listening, so woke him up with a trademark punch. >Reno decided to listen. VEGETA: He was sick of being the punching bag. _____________________________________________________________________ >"Reeve, are you O.K?" Tifa said, as the man controlling Cait Sith woke up. >"Huh......what...." he said. >"You had a bit of a shock." Tifa said. YAMUCHA: Yeah, All these annoying people around them. >"That's an understatement!" said a young girl, Reeve didn't recognise. >"Misty.....huh, never mind!" Tifa said, moving over to Elymra, curing her >again. "Elymra, are you alright?" >Elymra blinked her eyes many times, hoping the torture she endured was a >dream. She felt the pains though. >"They're all right!" Misty laughed. KRILLAN: I fail to see the humor in this situation. >"Phew." Tifa whispered, wiping off some sweat from her brow. Rude had come >over to help the two figures get up, hurt, shaken, but not scarred. >"What....Tifa.....Rude....what you doing here?" Reeve said, turning quickly. >"Hey, where's the mad-men?" GOKU: Well, he was in WCW. >he whispered. >"Gone." Rude said simply. >Reeve breathed a sigh of relief. Elymra started to recover as well. And >remembered something. >"Marlene, those bastards had left her for dead...oh, god, no....." KRILLAN (Elmyra): She might still be alive!!! >"Elymra, shush, it's O.K. It's O.K." Tifa said in a soothing voice. "We >found her. She being cared for at the Chocobo Farm. It's O.K." Tifa said, >hugging the foster mother of Aeris Gainsborough. >Elmyra cried silently in her friends arms. Tifa content to hold her. Despite everything that had happened, they were safe for the time being. GOKU: SAFE! The three evil guys handed your asses to you, and disappeared to who knows where, and you’re safe? >Now, the task was to keep it that way...... >Mako Crossover Chapter 11 >Gotta Catch 'Em All! GOKU: Gee, I wonder what this chapter is about? >By Chris Homer >James threw the pokeball that mysteriously came upon him. >"GROWL...." >"GROWLY!" James smiled, his beloved growlithe was with him. Growly smiled >at his trainer and leapt upon him and licked him. VEGETA: And then ate him. >James laughed, but realised quickly that this situation was gonna be >very difficult. Already, attack after attack had been unleashed. Gary >had released Raichu, Vaporeon, Ivysaur and Arcanine, whilst Cid had >readied his materia to work beside Vincent and Red. Jin and Hwoarang >took the flanks of Julia. YAMUCHA: Who promptly smacked them both. >Jessie and Meowth meanwhile were practically out of it from before, >but neither of them were quitters. >Giovanni's pokemon were attacking madly. Dragonite had been surprisingly >defeated easily by Vincent's Chaos, GOKU: Surprising that a giant devil killed it? >but Mewtwo, using its barrier and minimize attacks, had avoided the >onslaught. KRILLAN: When did X-Men get involved? >The unique pokemon were extremely tough. Slash, Onma and Pipod all had >difficult skin to penetrate and Vampira was just damn impossible to hit, >it could move literaly at the speed of light GOKU: Such an evil monster. It doesn’t follow rules, not even the laws of physics. >and could teleport as well. >Cid ran at Onma (the rock pokemon) with an attempted Big Brawl. Attempted >yes, got, no. He got a few bruised knuckles as Onma threw him 15 feet >in the air and slammed him. YAMUCHA: Bruised KNUCKLES? For being smashed around? >Onma ran with a version of Onix' tackle attack. Cid fell back, and felt >increasing pain, like he broke a rib. Damn, this was gonna be difficult. GOKU: I know, but we’re just gonna have to keep reading. >Red healed him as Chaos teared into Onma. However, the rock body was extremely >difficult to penetrate. KRILLAN: As was everyone’s brains. >With help of Gary's Vaporeon, however, it started to weaken, although >not by much. Pipod's hard ice shell was not as weak as it looked. >Arcainne and Growly went to take care of it, but it didn't melt easily. >Pipod sent it back with psychic blasts, along with Hwoarang and Red, >despite using fire materia and lethal kicks which could have broken >rock easily. Slash was a real pain. Its shell absorbed all attacks >from Jin and Julia, along with Gary's Raichu, and released it back >on them. YAMUCHA (Vicks): Whatever you do, don’t attack the shell! >Slash's rod like object brough any close attacks from the two martial >artists to a close. Julia was hurt and Jin's usual calm nature was thrown >out the window. VEGETA: As well as Jin himself. >Slash executed a lightning attack at the same time Jin executed his Devil's >uppercut. The lightning from Slash' attack was absorbed from Jin's fist >and his fist connected with Slash's head, unprotected from the shell. >Slash fell back, hurt, but not out. >"RECOVER!" >Giovanni raised his hand and Slash was up. Jin gasped. GOKU (Jin): I’m dead. >Meanwhile, Vampira was teasing Jessie and Meowth, GOKU (Vampira): Neener Neener neener! >along with Gary's Ivysaur, and Guile. Weezing and Arbok, despite being >weakened, were fighting for their beloved trainers. KRILLAN: Trainers yes. Beloved no. >Meowth had got over a huge win over a Persian, and was fighting with >a renewed spirit. However, Vampira seemed impossible to hit, even with >Ivysaur's accurate vine whip attacks. It's speed was remarkable, and >it could teleport as well. YAMUCHA: Didn’t we already hear that? >Weezing and Arbok were poison types, and despite Vampira also being >poison, it could utilise psychic attacks as well, which weaken poison >types very easily. With an attack known as 'Psychic Drain', the wills >of the two pokemon were sucked into the Vampira. GOKU (Vampira): Lets see, I’ll get Arbok’s basket, Weezing’s gas mask… >It was soon over for them. >Guile blasted it as accurately as it could with sonic boom attacks, KRILLAN: AGAIN with the neuter pronouns! >whilst Ivysaur and Meowth continued to attack, wondering how long they >could hold out...... _____________________________________________________________________ >"Remind me why I came here!" moaned Ken. VEGETA: An aspiring writer was very bored and wrote this fic. >"You were thrown here, remember?" GOKU: By Protoclown! >Ryu reminded him, behind him on the chocobo they were riding. >"Oh." >"Where are we heading?" Ash cried, riding beind Brock, who seemed to >handle the chocobo well. Being a breeder had help him in many things, >and the chocobo seemed to recognise that. GOKU: God knows how… >"We are trying to get as near to the crater as we can, where you were >brought here from. I'll bet my golden chocobo that is where all the >problems are." Cloud said, with Ling perched behind him. Barret rode >one seperately, as did Cait, although seeing a robot riding a chocobo isn't >the most everyday thing you see. VEGETA: And the giant birds themselves are? >"The furthest we can get to is Rocket Town!" Cait moaned. >"And the submarine is in Junon!" moaned Barret. >"If Misty was here, we could get by on her Pokemon!" said Ash. It hadn't >occured to him that he had a water pokemon, KRILLAN: Because he was stupid. >but anyway, how could Squirtle carry 7 humans and a robot, including one >man near 300 pounds? >"It looks like I'll have to bring out my gold chocobo." Cloud said as he >pulled out his PHS. GOKU: You can’t get Chocobos through that! >Static. >"Oh crap." Mako screwed it. >"Now, what?" >Something inside Ling hit her in the chest, GOKU: Ewww, her heart is bouncing around. KRILLAN: No, I think this scene was stolen from the movie "Aliens". >Articuno flying above them. Articuno cooed in its language which Ling >understood. Pikachu had also popped out from ash' backpack and started >to 'talk' worriedly. "Cu...cu...cuno...Articuno!" (Ling, some fellow >pokemon are here!) >"What? Where?" Ling said. >"Pika, pikapi. Chu, chu, pikachu!" (Ash, ASH! I sense some pokemon down >south!) >"Eh? What? No way....." KRILLAN: Ash is Canadian? >Ash remembered then who else had come through the portal. Gary and Team >Rocket. But did that mean that others were here? GOKU: NO... Maybe it just means your Pokemon are high. >"Cloud....Barret....Ken....Ryu....Cait.....we've gotta go south man!" >Ash said. >"He's right!" Ling said, Articuno perched on her shoulder. >"Why?" inquired Cloud, knowing that something was up. >"Pickachu....." YAMUCHA: Evil twin brother of Pikachu. GOKU: Pick a Chu, any Chu... >"...and Articuno..." >"...have sensed other pokemon down in the south!" Ling and Ash said >together. "Which means some others have arrived there. It might be a >clue, there may be some of your friends there as well!" YAMUCHA: They said that entire thing in unison? >Barret looked at the two youngers. He had a feeling that the creatures >had better senses than he did.... VEGETA: The rocks they are passing have more sense than Barret! >"Vul! Vul!" Vulpix moaned in Brock's arms. >"Vulpix, are you alright?"Brock quietely soothed the little fox pokemon. >"Vul! Vul! Vulpix!" it moaned. >"Vulpix sensed pain of pokemon kind. IT's hurt as well, although I don't >know what from! VULPIX!" >Vulpix started to glow in a weird eery green colour. Brock was in >hysteria. GOKU: So why is Vulpix radioactive? >"WE'VE GOT TO HELP IT!" Brock moaned. He cared for Vulpix more than anything, >even girls...... VEGETA: Bullshit. >"But how?" Ryu asked. >"Let's go down to Cosmo Canyon." Cait suggested. "We've already been to >Gongaga, it would be most logical to go there, the next most southern town." >Cait said. GOKU: Good. The groups are coming together, that means the fic is winding to an end. >"It may be the only way to find out whats going on.....and to help Vulpix." >Ling said, watching Brock start to form tears in his eyes. KRILLAN: With sculpting tools. >Cloud looked at the group. If they couldn't go any further, they might as >well have a look. And something in his heart said it was the right thing >to do. Call it a hunch, hell, they had worked in the past............ >"O.K, lets turn to Cosmo Canyon He-yah!" YAMUCHA: Ride’em Cowboy! >Cloud, Ken, Brock (desperately) , Barret and Cait turned around to head >for Red's hometown. >"Please, Vulpix, don't die on me....." Brock cried softly, whilst trying >to ride. Ash had never seen this side of Brock before. It reminded of >what he felt with Misty, hoping she hadn't been harmed. >Ryu felt the same thoughts, for Chun-Li. >Barret, for Marlene. >And for Cloud....Tifa...... GOKU: And Cait Sith was thinking of Jello. VEGETA: Hey, shouldn’t Reeve be controlling him again? _____________________________________________________________________ >"WE AIN'T GETTING ANYWHERE!" moaned Cid. >Giovanni was starting to piss him off. Every time they managed to even >dent his pokemon, Giovanni had recovered him. He was starting to get bored. GOKU: Cid, being bored when you’re getting smeared is a bad choice. >Chaos was tearing into everyone, with claws, blood and skulls attacking, >but Giovanni was just healing everyone. Growly and Arcaninne were starting >to bring a dent into Pipod, the ice melting in his head. Growly was very >strong even though Arcanine was the evolved form of it, and its flame >attacks were just as strong as Arcanines. KRILLAN: Of course. Gary sucks! >James had returned Weezing, as did Jessie with Arbok. Victreebell and Lickitung >couldn't fight, so for them, just Growly and Meowth remained. >Meowth had fought with the pride and spirit it had been born with. It's agility >managed to surprisingly strike Vampira a number of times, and it was intelligent, GOKU: Hey! Being able to talk doesn’t mean you’re intelligent! VEGETA: Look at Kakarot, for example. GOKU: Vegeta, you’re starting to bug me with that. >knowing where it was going to move, establishing a pattern. >Red was getting peed off though. He raised a red materia at the same time Cid >raised one. GOKU: Too bad they don’t have KOTR. >"Giga Flare!" >"Pheonix Flame!" >The two summon attacks rose in the air, blasting all the pokemon and Giovanni in >powerful blasts of fire and holy flame. VEGETA: Yawn… >Gary, Jessie, James, Jin, Julia and Hwoarang looked shocked. Guile wasn't as >surprised, believing any power could come from those materias. >Pipod finally passed out. GOKU: It was too dizzy. VEGETA: It shouldn't have been at that frat party the night before. >Growly and Arcainne barked happily. Hwoarang couldn't believe the power of >that thing, or the power coming from those rocks. However, Onma, Slash and >Vampira were still attacking. >"Pipod....return." Giovanni simply said. "Go......APOCOLYPSE...." GOKU: Now, that’s a cheesy name. >From the pokeball, a huge creature, with a devil's head, but a grizzly bears >body, with demon's claws, and a blood look in its eyes. >"APOCOLYPSE, THE ULTIMATE PHSYCIAL POKEMON. iT'S ATTACKS ARE >DEADLY, AND IT CAN TAKE TONNES OF PUNISHMENT.

VEGETA: And they all ran into each other. OTHERS: D'OH! >The others just tried to hold off the other three pokemon which remained. KRILLAN: ARE there any others? >Not an easily job with Giovanni keeping on healing them. >Apocolypse laughed off the attacks and sweeped them all away with one claw. VEGETA: All right, its time to see some mayhem!! >Arcanine fell. Gary returned at and sent out Golbat and Hitmonlee. Growly >remained uptight YAMUCHA: It was waaaay too nervous. >and Gary was upset that the weaker pokemon out of the two was still standing. >Perhaps he h1ad underestimated James.... >What neither James or Gary knew was that Growly had been blessed from the >heavens by a very special lady......... GOKU: Now we’re getting into the crappy. _____________________________________________________________________ >"Come on, hurry!" screamed Cloud, seeing a darkened man spiritualising >some black aura, which Cloud immediately knew was evil. GOKU (Cloud): Look at the clothes, man! He's got to be evil. KRILLAN: Also, Cloud didn't know what 'spiritualising' meant! >Ash and Ling flew off their chocobos, Brock much less dramatic, his interest >was mainly on Vulpix, except for something Ling had told him just beforehand. >"Brock, listen Vulpix is a pokemon you obviously care about, but listen, please >do me a favour. YAMUCHA (Ling): Take me! KRILLAN: Brock wishes... >As a breeder, you know how to take care of pokemon, and as a gym leader, are >knowledgable on attacks.

"Hey, >loser! If I can defeat it, then there is no way your wimpy pokemon could!" >Instead of Ash getting upset or angry, he just said two words. >"Shut up." GOKU (Gary): Funny, I’ve been hearing that a lot recently. >Ash and Brock released some pokeballs, Ash a bit upset, not with Gary, but the >fact that he couldn't see Misty anywhere. >From the pokeballs, Ash' Pidgeotto, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Charizard, along >with Pikachu, Brock's Onix, Zubat and Geodude, plus Ling's Pidgeott and >Ninetales came out.

Ken smirked against his American counterpart. >"SHIT! I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad you two hot-shots have >shown up1" >Guile smirked back. >"What the heck is that thing?" Ryu exclaimed. >"I don't know, but lets not wait around to find out." Guile commented. GOKU: Run away! Run away! >"Cid, man! Are you all right?" Cloud said, as he, Barret and Cait bounded >up to him. >"Spike, took ya time man?" Cid said, in pain though Red's cure spell >came upon him. >"Just wanted you to have all the fun." Cloud said.

You’re reaching the swear record!!! >"Hmm. Team Rocket?" Cloud presumed. >"Yes." conformed Red. "How'd you know?" >"Apart from the fact that they have giant R's on their chests, KRILLAN: And what the hell else do you need? >we've met up with a couple of their nemesis', Ash and Brock." said Cloud. >"Hmm. So the rival of the git is here." Cid smirked. YAMUCHA: CID!! Wash your mouth out!! >"Rival?" Cloud inquired. >"Long story. ALL: SO DON’T TELL IT!!!!! >Gary is from their world as well as Team Rocket I guess. It looks like >everyone is coming to place." >"Not everyone. Tifa and Yuffie aren't here." Barret said. >Cloud realised when he said that that he was right. Tifa and Yuffie weren't >here. Now he was extra worried. >"Cloud, you have a KOTR(Knights Of The Round) materia, don't ya?" Cait said. >Cloud nodded, and held up the powerful red materia. >"Use it." Cait said simply. GOKU (Cloud): Make me. >Cloud complied. >The knights materialized to the amazement of practically everyone who >didn't see it before, including Giovanni. The words 'Ultimate End' rang >through his ears for a long time, as the knights attacks specific pokemon >with specific attacks. One knight even got a blow on him. >When Giovanni recovered, all of his pokemon were out except for Vampira and >Apocolypse. GOKU: How the hell did anyone survive? And Giovanni’s a normal human.

Jenova came him more power in other ways. >Giovanni struck with powerful black blasts heading towards the group. >They scattered, as Giovanni blasted again. >"DOUBLE HA-DO-KEN!"

KRILLAN: Time out, I think they mentioned THREE fighters. >A cue for everyone to split up and attack. >Apocolypse was still strong, as Panda and Articuno attacked it.

KRILLAN (Meowth): Take that, area! >With Vampira getting weaker, Vincent could slash it much easier as could >Cid slash it spear as it weakened. Guile had pummeled it with Sonic Booms >and Flash Kicks as well. Vampira couldn't hit its psychic attacks and it's >poison attacks weren't effecting Chaos, the main course for worry. >Suddenly, Chaos stopped and fell down, returning to Vincent. GOKU: Aw, don’t you hate it when that happens? >Vampira gave a smile. Now, it could..... >It never finished its sinister thought as Vincent pulled a bullet through >its head. YAMUCHA: He decided to be fancy, so he didn’t shoot, he pulled it. >A pathetic scream and squeal later, Vampira vanished in a spurt of red light. KRILLAN: So, it would have been a lot easier if he hadn’t been Chaos to begin with? >"Well, that was easy!" Cid cheered. >Jessie and Meowth just groaned and fainted on the spot. _____________________________________________________________________ >Apocolypse was more difficult.

The other arm >ready to come down and crush his skull. >Then..... >Ling ran, jumped and executed the most accurate and powerful flying kick >she had ever attempted in her life. GOKU: It hit Hwoarang perfectly. >It connected, right in the mush. >The Apocolypse screamed, its face a demonic face. KRILLAN: We know that! VEGETA: Is this as interesting as the battles are going to get? >Ling almost screamed at the sight, and that moments hesitation cost her. >Apocolypse angered, hit a powerful backfist into the head of Ling.

GOKU: How the hell is that thing still alive? >All it needed were a couple of executioners. >And they came. >Jin and Julia powered up their fists.... >...and delivered, plunging their fists into the scratched heart area >of the Apocolypse.

GOKU: Hmm, this is a long shot, but maybe, just maybe, she can’t breathe because you’re HOLDING HER SO TIGHT!!! >Julia tried not to see it, her friend badly hurt. Jin held Julia tight, not >wanted to really see this either. >Hwoarang may have been a street punk in the past, but entering this tournament >gave him a sense of purpose, to defeat Jin Kazama. However, he didn't think >he would experience the feeling growing inside of him at this moment. YAMUCHA: Aw, god, is he a necrophiliac? >Love. >"Ling, get up damn it! You saved me! I'm not gonna forgive myself if you >die!" Hwoarng said, and in a quieter tone. >"I.....I...love you." >Hwoarang bent over and kissed the bleeding lips of Ling Xiayou. Like Ling, >her lips were soft and gentle, but had a hardness which could keep you on >your guard. >Hwoarang kissed her softly, and released. >Suddenly, arms pinned him back down as the kiss continued, expect the more >pressure was coming from the girl. YAMUCHA: This is so touching!! GOKU: Whatever. I think there’s still fighting going on, could we see THAT instead? >Hwoarang's eyes rose in surprise and happiness, as Ling kissed him back, >tenfold. She was alright! >She released momentarilly. "I love you too." she smiled, before falling back >into a deep sleep. >Hwoarang released her, stroking her injured neck, feeling nothing broken, >a sigh of relief came from his lips and then.... >Tears? >When was the last time he cried? Not since Master Baek died. >"You brought her back Hwoarang. You showed her you cared." jin said KRILLAN: We could have just used a life materia. >Hwoarang, normally, would have given an angered remark, but the look that >Jin gave him wasn't one of sarcasm, but one of admiration. >"She loved you, Hwoarang. And now, your retaliation has brought her back, like the >stubborn girl she is. Has to get what she wants, and you gave it to her." smiled >Julia. Hwoarang had to smile as he wiped the tears away. A tear landed on Ling's >forehead. VEGETA: And caved in her skull. >He bent over and kissed her forehead. >"Thank you, Ling, for making me a better person, and saving our lives." he >whispered, before scooping her up in his arms, her soft touch quietening his >voice as he hugged her and cradled her. >Jin and Julia smiled, then realised that it wasn't over yet. YAMUCHA ( Jin): Oh, right, Giovanni. _____________________________________________________________________ >Giovanni was falling. He couldn't believe it. Vampira and Apocolypse had been >destroyed and he couldn't get his pokeball. >What was worse was that the rest of the group were hurting him. Hurting him! >No one hurt Giovanni and gets away with it! GOKU: Except these guys. >But they had found the pattern. >Pikachu was spent, but had done the most damage. Ninetales and Growly worked >together well as Brock kept thinking about Vulpix, Red's fire spells and >Barret's powerful blasts kept Giovanni at bay. >But Giovanni had some tricks up his sleeve. >"DARK FORCE! EVIL GATE!" >Two dark Shade based attacks came from his hands. (Shade appears) SHADE: No, that’s not me. (Shade disappears) GOKU: Did that loser think we thought that? >Ash, Brock, Gary and James got many dark blasts entering their bodies, >sending them many feet back. Their pokemon was also affected and many fell. >Left was Pikachu, Charizard, Ninetales and Growly. >For Red, Ken, Ryu, Cloud, Cait and Barret, a powerful portal attack send >their energy draining many times. >Ryu and Ken got up and powered up their Shinku-Hadokens. >The powerful blasts sent him back as Ken ran with a ShinryuKen, GOKU: See? >a huge flaming dragon punch. GOKU: Mine is better… >Ryu powered up lightning in his legs as he ran and his his Super Hurricane >Kick. Giovanni was hurt, but he could recover and the flames weren't all >strong enough to finish him off. >It seemed true, the combined power of Pikachu, Charizard, Ninetales and >Growlithe weren't doing enough damage. VEGETA: Are we finally going to see some good guys die? >The fire materia and attacks of Ryu and Ken did help, but it didn't seem >to be doing enough. >"FOOLS! YOU CANNOT WIN!" GOKU: Did Shenlong gave him immortality? >"He's.....right....." puffed James. He looked at Growly, who was >incredibly strong, looking tired. Pikachu was also very tired. >Ninetales had practically passed out. Only Charizard looked fresh, but >even his attacks lacked bite. It was then the shock happened. KRILLAN: They were struck by lightning. >The glow of Vulpix from behind them, unknown to everyone, except for >Brock, who sensed something happening. >He ran, forgetting Giovanni, picked up Vulpix, who was glowing...... >.....of Mako energy. GOKU: Mako! Helpful to good and evil alike! >"Whats happening....." Brock said, as Vulpix started to glow. >Brock gently put it down. >"VUL....VUL..." "Vulpix!" Brock was first in tears. >"VUL......Tales!" it finished. >"Huh?" Brock said. >In front of him, was not a dead Vulpix as he thought would happen, >but a very healthy and powerful looking, Ninetales. GOKU: So Mako is like evolution stones? >Brock was shocked. Vulpix could only evolved via a Fire Stone. >Unless.....that glowing, was that energy from the...what was it..... Mako...that had caused this problem......could it help evolution as well. YAMUCHA: Nah, you’re just hallucinating. >Brock tears of sadness turned to tears of joy and relief, as Ninetales >walked beside him. >"Guys, Vulpix has somehow evolved!" he screamed. >Ash smiled, but was too busy with Giovanni. VEGETA(Ash): Who gives a shit? >Brock then had an idea. With Vulpix evolving, flame attacks would be >more powerful. With the other light based attacks coming, it would be >the end for Giovanni. >"O.K, everyone, attack again, I've got a new partner." he smirked. >"Ninetales." Ninetales spoke. >"O.K, Vul...er, Ninetales and er, Ninetales, double Flame Spin!" Brock said. >"Growly, ember!" GOKU: I still think he shouldn’t be using such a crappy attack. >"Ifrit. Hellfire!" Red said. >"Fire3!" Cait said. >"Fire3!" Cloud said. >Barret blasted a Satellite Beam Giovanni's Way. >And finally..... >"Pikachu, ultimate ThunderShock!" Ash said. >"Charizard, Fire Blast!" Ash said. KRILLAN: Are there two Ash’s now? >The attacks came so fast for Giovanni that he didn't know what >happened. He was screaming as both Ninetales attacked. Lings looked >beat quickly, but Brock's attacked with incredible force. It seemed >the power of Mako in its body had powered up its attack as well. ALL: OF COURSE! >The twirling ember of James Growlithe surrounded Giovanni, enabling >him in a blood-curdling scream. >The fire spells of Red, cait and Cloud blasted him further back, >followed with a Satellite attack from Barret, a fire blast from Red's >Cosmo Memory, and Cloud's powerful Omnislash. >Finally.... >Pikachu's Thundershock sent him flying into the air. >Giovanni screamed as the pain went through his body. The battle >was over.... ...but the war wasn't. >"I'll be back...." he whispered, before vanishing. VEGETA: You mean he’s still alive? CRAP!!! >Promptly, everyone (including the pokemon) fell to their knees, exhausted. GOKU: I’m just sure that some of the Pokemon don’t have knees. >"We.....did....it......" Brock said. >"Yeah....." Ash said. _____________________________________________________________________ >The cure spells had been used many times on everyone, but Ling in >particular. Hwoarang had stayed by her side in Cosmo Canyon the whole >time, with Jin, Julia, Guile and Cid as well as Red by their side. >Lings eyes started to flutter. Hwoarang gasped for breath. GOKU (Hwoarang): What the hell, her eyes are flying away! >Ling's eyes began to open. The first thing she saw was a handsome >Korean boy staring over her. YAMUCHA: Then she looked over and noticed Hwoarang around as well. >"Hwoarang....." she stuttered. >"Right here, Ling." he said, holding her hand. >"Oh, Hwoarang..." she said and hugged him, crying happily. >"I thought I was a goner.....I thought you was a goner....." she said. KRILLAN(Hwoarang): Oh, didn’t you know? We’re dead. >"Shhh....shhh...." he said, rocking her gently. Holding her at this >moment, he wished he could do it for the next 20 years. VEGETA: NOOOO! This fic might last that long! >"You saved us. You saved all of us........." Hwoarang said, but stopped >as Ling kissed him full on the lips. >Hwoarang's eyes opened momentarilly, but kissed the beautiful young girl >back. She was three years his younger, but she was a savior in his eyes, >and a beautiful one like that. At this point, a changing point in his >life was made. Hwoarang was no longer the street punk, the cocky Tae >Kwan Do champ, or the rival of Jin Kazama. GOKU: Is this foreshadowing? KRILLAN: More like beating us on the head with a point. >He was a man. YAMUCHA: Well, not QUITE yet... >And kissed her back tenfold. >Jin and Julia turned to leave, but Jin held her arm. >"What?" she said, as his hand wandered into hers. >"You know, those two are good for each other. And I've been just as blind >to my feelings for you as he had for her." Jin said. >"So, how are you gonna make up for it?" Julia smiled as her arms encircled >his waist. VEGETA: I will melt my own head if this keeps up. YAMUCHA: Hey, I could sell tickets to people who hate you to see it. VEGETA: Want to go first? >"This." And gently lifted her chin up so he could kiss her tenderly on >the lips. Both young couples got caught in the moment, so Guile, Cid and >Red took their leave. GOKU: But left some cameras behind for blackmail… _____________________________________________________________________ >Everyone assembled by the eternal flame of Cosmo Canyon. Everyone, >including Ling had recovered well and Cloud took charge. VEGETA: The others must be stoned. >"Listen, everyone, we are all from alternate worlds, but we have a >similar goal. KRILLAN: World domination!!!! >To remove an evil obstacle from our worlds. Now, it has occured to me >that not everyone from our or your groups are here." he said. GOKU (Cloud): It has also occurred to me that I am not wearing pants. >"Yes, Cloud. Two of our friends, Sakura and Chun-Li aren't with us." said Ryu. >"As is a friend of ours, Misty." said Ash, as Brock stroked his new Ninetales. >"And with us, Yuffie and Tifa." said Barret. He muttered under his breath, >'Marlene' as well. >"Correct. But it seems that the main guys from Jin's world are here, but not >everyone is here, if you know what I mean." said Cloud. GOKU: Some of them aren’t ALL here, is what they mean. >"Yes, many of the evil beings are around." Guile said. "That bastard Bison is somewhere still." Guile angered. >"So is a man named Viktor Sagat and a devil entity known as Akuma." said Ryu. >"The Ogre and my grandfather Heihachi must be still here......" said Jin. >"And I'll be damned if our 'ex' boss is dead."said Jessie, angrily. KRILLAN: Is it just me, or does this whole thing start to remind me of 'Challenge of the Superfriends'? >"I suspect the same. I think its time to find out the other members of our parties, most likely, they are all together, and destroy this evil once and for all." Ryu said, leader like, probably make Cloud a bit jealous. KRILLAN: Cloud, there is a challenge to your Alpha status, how do you respond? GOKU (Cloud): I got KOTR, remember? >"Yes. Cid has the Baby Bronco, but its too small to fit us all in......." >said Cloud. Suddenly, a voice appeared in James' head as the other began >talking. >"Young pokemaster, look to your left of the rock you are sitting on." >the voice said. >James looked around, the voice was really confusing him. It was female, >and it was sweet. He wished to hear it, yet whenever she spoke, it was >seemingly in riddles. >VASH: How is, “Look left” a riddle? >It was the voice, he presumed, which sent him Growly, whom he was petting >at the time. Brock had been kind to give Jessie and James' pokemon some of >his famous food, KRILLAN: Brock IS Emeril Lagasse! >he was in too much of a good mood (except for the fact he had learnt that >Ling had a boyfriend, as did the young cutie he had just met, Julia) for >anything to spoil it. YAMUCHA: Except when everyone started punching him. GOKU: Why would they do that? VEGETA: I would. >As if on instinct, he turned to his left.... >....and saw a pokeball, glowing with Mako, the same one Giovanni had used. >He remembered, Growly using his flame thrower, hit the pokeball and sent >it spinning. GOKU: Funny, I thought it was Ember attack. >And it was still here. KRILLAN: Good move, Jenova. >He grabbed it. >"Now concerntrate on a creature which can help you...." the voice died >away. James noticed the hubbub ahead of him, but remembered his days at >Pokemon Tech. >What Pokemon could be used to run great distances. >Of course! Rapidash! .But in water..... >Gyarados! Lapras! >"Hey, guys......." James shouted as friendly as he could. GOKU: Which wasn’t at all. >But there was too much arguing going on. >"GUYS?" he screamed. >No-one acknowledged him, even Jessie. KRILLAN: No respect. >"Er, Weezing, Smokescreen!" >The Poison Bomb pokemon coughed out a blast of smoke around the group. A few >coughs and spluttered made them all gasp as they turned to him. GOKU: Anyone up for a lynching? >"Why did you do that?" they moaned. >"So, I could get your attention......it worked!" he smirked, happy to be >on the winning team and in control. >"Now, remember this?" The glowing pokeball. GOKU: Uh, James, your hand is melting. >Meowth smiled. "WOW! THE BOSS' MAGIC POKEBALL!" >"Exactly! And here comes our transport!" >"Ponyta! Rapidash! Lapras! Gyarados!" >Four pokemon emerged. Two flame horses, one sea serpent, and one water >horse like creature. >"These babies can travel either on land or water, and as were gonna be >looking everywhere, we need to be quick, and these can help us out!" >James smirked. >"Wow, James, you've done something right!" Jessie and Ash said together. VEGETA: I guess hell DID freeze over. >James moaned and a few more Rapidash, Gyarados and Lapras came out. >"All aboard!" he said. >Cloud and Barret had to admit that luck and cleverness played their >part here. They decided that going by water would be best as they had >searched most of the western continent. >James nodded as more water pokemon came out, such as Starmie, Staryu, >Dratini and Tentacruel. GOKU: The author is bragging again. >"It looks like we've got some planets to save!" Cloud smirked, happy that their luck was starting to increase. KRILLAN: Level up! Luck goes up 3 points! >And their mission underway. GOKU: And so should we, time to go. Author’s notes: Things are picking up! The fic will take two more parts to finish, and things only get dumber. Will our heroes beat the evil? >"Let's chop down that tree!" she said, drawing her shuriken. Sakura smiled. >"Let's kiss ass!"
